This 10-day Tanzania safari is the most complete wildlife-and-coast itinerary in the current safari package set. It combines the core northern circuit parks with a generous Zanzibar extension, making it ideal for travelers who want depth, variety, and a less rushed pace.
From Tarangire's elephants and baobabs to the Serengeti plains, the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and the beaches of Zanzibar, the route captures the broad range of landscapes and experiences that make Tanzania so compelling.
For honeymooners, milestone travelers, private groups, and guests wanting a flagship safari package, this 10-day itinerary offers one of the best all-round Tanzania experiences available.
This package works year-round. Dry-season wildlife viewing is especially strong from June to October, while the longer itinerary also performs very well in greener months because it has enough time to absorb seasonal differences and still deliver a complete experience.
Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to your hotel in Arusha. Rest, meet our safari team, and get a detailed briefing before your wildlife adventure begins.
